TOBACCO-PIPE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Sept. 7, 1909.

Application filed April 3, 1909. Serial No. 487,612.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JULIUS C. DRUCKLIEB, a citizen of the United States,and a resident of Montclair, in the county of Essex and State of NewJersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Tobacco-Pipes, of which the following is a specification.

The object of my invention is to provide a pipe for tobacco'smokingwhich will be free from the usual bubbling noise.

In pipes as they have heretofore been made the moisture from the tobaccoas it burns forms a small bubble or drop around the hole at the bottomof the bowl; and then a rattling noise is caused when the smoker drawson the stem, in smoking. Such bubbling or rattling noise is veryobjectionable to the smoker and others about him and it is the object ofmy present invention to modify in a simple manner, the construction ofthe pipe to avoid the same.

In the drawings formin a part of this a plication: Figure 1 is aongitudinal sectlonal view through the preferred form of pipe embodyingmy improvements, and Fig. 2' is a lan view thereo While I have shown theform of pipe which I prefer to use, it is to be understood that theform, and to a great extent, the construction also, may be changedwithout departing from the noiseless feature of my in-. vention.

In the preferred form of pipe which I have shown there is a bowl 1,having the usual tobacco chamber 2, and from the bowl and preferablyintegral .therewith is a stem 3, to which is secured the mouthpiece 4,as by slipping the end of the mouthpiece into the bore of the stem. Thebore 5 of the stem in the fullest embodiment of my invention is straightand of a uniform size throughout and extends under the bowl chamber andbeyond the communicating slot 6, forming an accumulating recess 7 forthe accumulation of the moisture from the tobacco. The purpose in makingthe bore 5 uniform and extending it beyond the slot 6 is so that acleaner may be inserted to thoroughly clean the stem bore and beyond theslot 6, this being one of the features of the present invention.

Ordinarily the hole at the bottom of the bowl, that is, the passagewayby which the tobacco chamber communicates with the bore of the stem,whether directly or indirectly, has been round. Where more than oneaperture has been used they have all been round. I have found by testthat the moisture forming from the tobacco will form in a drop on theround or circular aperture, and the drawing by the smoker will make thisdrop bubble or rattle, causing a very disagreeable noise. I have foundthat by making the passage between the tobacco chamber of the bowl andthe bore of the stem, in the form of an elongated slot 6 as shown in thedrawing a drop can not form so as to cause a rattling noise. Themoisture from the tobacco chamber will pass through the elongated slotfreely and owing to the slot being elongated no drop will form. Theremay be more than one slot if desired, though one will'sufiice and wherethere are more than one they all should be elongated;

As previously stated I do not limit my whole invention to the particularform of pipe shown as that may be changed without departing from thebroad idea of providing an elongated passageway by which the tobaccochamber communicates with the bore of the stem.

A pipe made as herein set forth may be easily cleaned and is always freefrom noise.

Having described my invention what I claim is:

1. A pipe for tobacco smoking comprising a bowl having a tobaccochamber, and a stem, said pipe having an elongated slot through whichthe smoke is drawn from the said to bacco chamber.

2. A pipe for tobacco smoking comprising a bowl having a tobaccochamber, and a stem having a bore, said pipe having an elongated slot bywhich the said tobacco chamber communicates with the bore of the stem.

3. A. pipe for tobacco smoking having a bowl provided with a tobaccochamber, and a stem having a uniform, straight bore, extending under thetobacco chamber of the bowl, said pipe having an elongated slot wherebythe tobacco chamber and the bore of the stem will communicate with eachother, the bore of the stem extending beyond the said elongated slot toform a recess for the liquid from the tobacco chamber.

4. A pipe for tobacco smoking having a bowl provided with a tobaccochamber, and

a stem having a uniform straight bore, ex

tending under the tobacco chamber of the bowl, said pipe having anelongated slot whereby the tobacco chamber and the bore T of the stemwill communicate with each other, the bore of the stem extending beyondthe said elongated slot to form a recess for the liquid from the tobaccochamber.

Signed at the city, county and State of New York, this 1st day of April,1909.
